Calling all artists!! T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST 

This fall, we’re bringing back our hybrid walk/run event MILES FOR MOBILE CARE for the second year in a row to raise money for patients with chronic conditions who need access to free, preventative care. Last year, roughly 100 donors came together to help us raise $30,000 so our clinics could reach more Chicagoland patients in need of care. 

Although the fundraiser was a great success, we felt like something was missing….an official Miles for Mobile Care T-Shirt! We want our participating donors and patients to be able to proudly rep an incredible MCC  t-shirt, but we need your help to make it happen. 

It’s simple: read the guidelines, sign the release, and submit a t-shirt design!!

A selection committee will vote on a winner, and the winner gets a cash prize and will have their design featured as the official t-shirt for this year’s fundraiser. The winning design will be worn by many in Chicago and beyond!

Want to know more about us before you enter?  Mobile Care Chicago is a not-for-profit organization that uses mobile medical clinics to assist children currently unable to access necessary specialty care for a chronic condition. For over 20 years, Mobile Care Chicago has used partnerships with local schools to provide a free, convenient and trusted location for local children who have complex needs but whose parents may not have the time, transportation or work flexibility to access more distant brick-and-mortar clinics. Our fleet includes: The Asthma Van, The Dental Van, and a general pediatric clinic. Last year, we formed a partnership with the UIC Community Outreach and Intervention Project to launch a harm reduction clinic for adults. In total, our clinics assisted roughly 6,000 families last year.
